    Default Thanks Pinball Dave! Daverob Dongles Are Like Everyone Says They Are...AWESOME!

    Just wanted to give a shoutout to PinballDave and say the Daverob Dongles are the best! So easy to use and install and they work on my machines..what more can you ask for!

    He ships super quick and the dongles are as easy as unplug the old , plug in the new and ready to go!
    The added functionality of adding credits and getting balls released by the machine adds a whole other dimension to the experience.

    I heard about him from this site and read about his dongles andglad I ordered some.

    If you don't have one you really need to order one, the extra added fucntionality is well wortth the costs!

    I am from the US, and he the UK, but the shipping was quick and the product well worth it and arrived safe and sound

    Thanks PinballDave!

    Here is his webpage :
    Pinball Dave's pinball and pachinko site

    (most of you know this but if new owners read this , I jsut wanted to give them a heads up)

    A few of us helped with the Beta testing of the R2 dongles and they have some added, useful and upgraded features, like being able to upgrade if needed without having to send the whole dongle back to Dave, just purchase the programme key thingy, sort of future proofing in a way

    I believe there is greater compatibility with different frames, I tested on all my frames and had no compatibility issues

    here is the link to Daverob's site that explains:

    I believe mine is a version 1 but works perfectly with my JAWS machine. I am not sure there would be any reason to upgrade it.

    I needed 2 more so it was easier just to buy 3 complete with card readers to fit in my triple cabinet. Then I have a spare v1 for my ball dispenser and another spare in case I put a CR machine on the other wall.

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

    The Rev2 has improved a few things and brings some new options you can set up, but essentially it's the same thing. The big difference with the Rev2 is the hardware improvements that allow for upgrades which would not be possible on the Rev1 dongles. At the moment none of these upgrades have got any further than the box of 'not working quite right yet' prototypes, but they will turn up sooner or later.

    So basically, if you've got a Rev1 and you're happy with it, there's no real reason to upgrade to a Rev2, but you might want to reconsider upgrading when the updates turn up.
